Decision

THE COMPLAINTS ARE DISMISSED.

Consideration 6

Extract:

Purchasing power at CERN has plainly declined during the last several years and recent rises in pay did not offset the fall, far from it. "Yet the trend does not amount to breach of a fundamental term of the appointment of CERN staff." The Tribunal finds no breach of acquired rights.
